In our experience kids are like sponges and quickly adapt to using their hands to stop (but then, they kinda have to right?). For kids who havenРІР‚в„ўt used hand brakes - donРІР‚в„ўt stress. Worth pointing out is there are no foot brakes on the Beasley - only front and rear hand brakes. This is where kids grip and twist to change gears. The gears are controlled via a Shimano grip-shift mechanism. A single gear on the front is paired to 7 gears on the back. Unlike some kids bikes the Haro Beasley has a simplified gear system.

ItРІР‚в„ўs these smaller components which really make a difference to reduce the weight of a bike.

This includes not just the major components - like the frame - but also fork, handlebar, stem, seatpost, rims and crankset. In order to make the Beasely as light as possible, a lot of the components sourced to build the bike are made from aluminium. This means better control of the bike at high speed and easier handling - a must for kids transitioning from a smaller bike to a larger one.Р”Р„ short stem, (slightly) wider bars and the slacker fork-angle deliver more control, especially over bumpy and rough surfaces. The BeasleyРІР‚в„ўs low frame creates a low centre of gravity. The frameРІР‚в„ўs geometry and fit makes sense. Straight tubing lines with zero excess material. No untidy or excessive cables or components. In reality, itРІР‚в„ўs one one of the cleanest looking bikes in our range. The stock image above doesnРІР‚в„ўt really do the bike any justice. The Haro Beasley 24 girls bike must be on your shortlist of bikes to consider.
